Orlando Magic forward Paolo Banchero and Oklahoma City Thunder forward Chet Holmgren teamed up on Saturday and faced Los Angeles Lakers forward LeBron James and several other players in the CrawsOver Pro-Am in Seattle, Washington.
Banchero and Holmgren previously played together in the event last month as they combined to score 84 points. They hit the court together once again and were joined by Denver Nuggets forward Aaron Gordon, Houston Rockets forward Tari Eason and Isaiah Thomas.
They matched up against James, Boston Celtics guard Jayson Tatum, Atlanta Hawks guard Dejounte Murray and Milwaukee Bucks forward MarJon Beauchamp. With such a star-studded group of players on the court, fans were seen waiting as early as 6 am to reserve a spot in line.
Those who managed to gain entrance into the gym were treated to a show as the cast of players dazzled on the court. James and Tatum connected on a few alley-oops, while the incoming rookies also had some highlight-worthy plays, as well.
The CrawsOver Pro-Am, which was started by NBA legend Jamal Crawford, has put together another incredible summer of basketball with dozens of players coming through, as was the case on Saturday. Players have shown love to those in the area and they have given it right back.
With training camps opening up in late September, players have stayed busy throughout the summer by playing in various exhibition games throughout the country. Certainly, fans everywhere can’t wait to watch them take the court when the season begins in October.
